Si An - Berlin

Berlin has a great amount of restaurants. I live now in Prenzlauer Berg and I have been in some restaurants already. But 2 weeks ago, I heard of Si An, a very traditional vietnamese restaurant at the Rykestrasse where mostly all dishes are vegetarian and glutenfree. I decided to go there with my old friends from Hamburg and was amazed by the incredible taste of their food. 

When my friend Helena decided to visit me from Oslo, I knew we should go to this place. The outside terrace is beautifully decorated with asian lamps and one feel suddenly like on vacation.

origami and asian decoration can be seen everywhere at Si An

Beautifully wrapped menu

I got a non-vegetarian Bun Cha Gio: Warm rice noodle salad with fresh spring rolls with pork, coriander, roasted peanuts mint honey dressing. Delicious and surprisingly huge for 7.80€. Not only was it all fresh but the don't use glutamate.

Asia decoration on every corner.

One of the strongest and most delicious chili sauces. Use only one spoon if you like spicy food.

This place is great for afterwork drinks and food or even a date on a saturday night.

What makes this place even cooler? The service is extraordinary. The waiter saw me and knew already that last time I was there I needed a pillow as I wear shorts and the straw benches aren't so comfy for bare legs and he remembered I don't eat gluten. You wont need to chase a waiter to get their attention here, just a glance and they will be there to make your evening even more special. 

I totally recommend you guys to check out this place!

I just got a Fuji xe1 to try as I am lacking a good camera at the moment (Thanks Ailine) But I have still no idea how to use it and this place is a bit dark as well ;) so I apologize for the semi blurry pictures...
